Thanks Mertay, it is stunning in real life, looks much much bettre than the promo pics and the youtube videos.
Just installing it. It's going on my shelf about my desk with the PreSonus one side and the GT001 the other UPDATE: WOW!, so much software with it  UPDATE: Ooops, clicked everything in the Time And Tone bundle. Nightmare now with unlicensed items

Thanks Todd,
I had the 18i8, it's built like a tank Messed up with some of the plugins though, when the dialogue box came up for which of the Softube plugins to install, like a plum I clicked "all", now I keep getting iLock notifications saying they aren't available. I have access to some but I can never remember which Got to sort that out tonight  Cheers -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Managed to record and playback through Reaper
Then realised that the audio in Reaper was still set to GT-001 so when I unplugged cables I got no sound from Reaper. Changed the device settings to Focusrite and now Reaper just keeps freezing  It freezes so badly, I can't even "end process", I have to reboot system

Thanks Mertay,
I'm going to try reinstalling Reaper first. I changed the driver to "Focusrite USB" and it froze immediately, it won't even open to allow changes now. When I used task manager I couldn't end program so I tried end process and got an "access denied". I'm a bit fed up about it to be honest but I'll get it sorted. Got to move forward Cheers Phil -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

QUOTE (Mertay @ Feb 25 2016, 11:29 PM)  Such problems are normal on system component change but crashing so bad does look bad did any DAW came with the soundcard? if the problem happens again might be worth trying with another DAW too.Thanks Mertay, it came with Albeton which I really don't like. I've just reinstalled Reaper but it won't even open, it's stuck on the "Initialising main window" splash screen so I can't even get into it to set it up at them moment.

I've just reinstalled Reaper and I can't open it, it is stuck on the "Opening main window" splash screen, so I can't even get into it to set it up, I can't close it either, see below. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled Scarlett mixer control which is hte driver for the 18i8  Did a reboot and getting this too.  I've got to go out for a couple of hours now but I'll try again later on.

Thanks Mertay,
Just got back, was out for three hours not two but had some good nosh  While I was tucking into my Tex-Mex steak I had a brain wave. I always thought this wouldn't matter but I tried it anyway when I got back. I had plugged the USB cable into a POWERED hub, now I thought these things were safe, as they are powered but I thought "I'll just give it a try anyway, you never know!" Anyway, I've just plugged the Focusrite into a USB port from the motherboard and it's working fine. Got to hook up the GT-001 to it now and see if that works. Cheers folks UPDATE: Haven't tried the GT-001 yet, PC works fine when first switched on, if I use Reaper, then shut Reaper down, I get no sounds from anything else. No system sounds, no youtube. Currently talking to their support. This post has been edited by Phil66: Feb 26 2016, 09:28 PM -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Thanks Mertay.
Here is the transcription. Just a simple conflict in the end but to me it might as well be quantum physics I have to say, I would recommend Focusrite purely on their support. In my country it's available from 1pm to 1am. Perfect  Louie 20:26:07 Hello. How can I help you today? Phil 20:26:11 Hello Louie Phil 20:26:28 I've just installed my 18i8 but I have a couple of problems. Phil 20:26:57 My computer works fine when I switch it on. Phil 20:27:37 When I use my DAW and go back to using my computer normally I can't get any sound, no system sounds, no youtube sounds, nothing. Phil 20:27:43 What can I do? Louie 20:28:03 Can you please inform as to what type of computer you are connecting to? Is it a Mac or PC? What version of the OS are you currently on? Phil 20:29:14 PC, Windows 10 Louie 20:30:12 Just to clarify, you can hear audio from your DAW but from other sources on Windows 10 PC correct? Phil 20:31:12 I can hear ALL sounds when switched on UNTIL I use my DAW. Once I have used my DAW I can get no other sounds without restarting the PC. Louie 20:31:54 Ok. Seems that the Sample Rates may not be matching. Louie 20:32:01 What is the sample rate in which you use your DAW in? Phil 20:32:47 Ahhh, I do get a message saying "device sample rate could not be changed because the following devices are playing audiodg.exe" Phil 20:33:22 Is it fixable? Louie 20:34:06 Where are you getting this message? Phil 20:34:16 I have to say, I'm fairly new to this. I have used a much simpler setup previously, a Boss GT-001 which had one input, either mic or guitar. Phil 20:34:42 I get that message if I open up my DAW when I have a youtube video playing Phil 20:34:49 It appears in my DAW Phil 20:35:48 I am only using the 18i8 for all sounds, not the soundcard in the PC Louie 20:36:04 Ok. Louie 20:36:14 Please stop playing audio from Youtube. Louie 20:36:32 Open your DAW and plays some audio. Then launch MixControl and let me know what the sample rate is set to. Phil 20:36:45 OK Phil 20:38:50 Ahhh, that has shown another issue. It seems that I can't run my DAW either once I have come out of it and tried to play a youtube video. It opens up fine but won't play sound. Not only that but the line that goes along the wave form as it plays isn't moving. Phil 20:39:12 Ahh hang on Phil 20:39:32 I have just closed mixer control and the DAW is working. Louie 20:39:57 Ok. Please launch it again and then let me know the Sample Rate. Phil 20:40:05 44.1 khz Louie 20:41:47 Ok. Can you please close all applications that play audio. Phil 20:42:01 Done Louie 20:42:22 Once that is done please follow the steps below: To change the sample rate of your Windows settings please follow the instructions below: - Navigate to Control Panel > Sound > Playback > Right click on your interface> Properties > Advanced. Under Default Format change the Sample Rate to that of your DAW. Press Apply and then OK. - Navigate to Control Panel > Sound > Record > Right click on your interface > Properties > Advanced. Under Default Format change the Sample Rate to that of your DAW. Press Apply and then OK. This will change the Sample Rate in your Windows settings so that it matches that of your DAW. Phil 20:44:21 Done Louie 20:44:51 Ok. Please launch your DAW and then test. Louie 20:45:00 We want to make sure you are still able to play audio. Phil 20:45:07 That works Louie 20:45:32 Can you please try to play audio from Youtube. Phil 20:46:00 Yes that works too. Louie 20:46:31 Seems you are good to go. Phil 20:47:14 Thank you so much, you have been excellent. I'd like to say this live help is brilliant. Thank you. Louie 20:48:09 Happy to help. Louie 20:48:12 Please let us know if we can assist you further. We are more than happy to help. Louie 20:48:13 Have a great day!! -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.
